If I Had A Time Machine, I Would Stampede Into 2016 And Snabble These YA Books Immediately

A gargantuan part of being a bookworm is wanting books we do not currently hold in our clammy paws. I don’t know about you, but I am attracted to SHINY NEW BOOKS. And Goodreads just torments us with listing tantalising new releases THAT WE JUST CAN’T HAVE. Gosh darnit. Which leads me to being attracted to the idea of a time machine. Because dangit, Jim*, I’m not a patient plant. I am a bookworm of action.

Today I’m writing a list of 2016 releases I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO EAT RIGHT NOW. It’s supposed to be only10 and also debuts. But since when have I ever done a Top Ten Tuesday prompt without cheating? #RebelAtHeart

There are TONS of books coming…absolutely TONS OF THEM. I’m not even sorry and you and your TBR may hate and thank me simultaneously.

Also if you have a time machine, I demand ask nicely for use of it.

* There is no reason I’m calling you Jim today. YOU JUST ARE ALL JIM.**
** Actually it’s totally a Star Trek reference. “Dangit Jim, I’m a doctor not an [insert every other occupation here]!” Okay? okay.

This Week’s Prompt: Top Ten 2016 Debuts Novels We Are Looking Forward To

(Which is a pretty tiny list, sadly. SHAME ON ME. Recommendations welcome. Because I obviously need more books in my life.)

THE WEIGHT OF ZERO: This is about bipolar…which is a disorder I am curious to know more about so YES PLEASE.

THE LOOSE ENDS LIST: Is it bad to admit that it got me at “list”!?!? I LOVE LISTS. Look! I am currently writing lists of how much I like lists! Also it’s about a grandma and her granddaughter and I love those kind of stories.

HEARTLESS: I love Alice in Wonderland. LOVE IT. And I just have completely faith in Marissa Meyer to write it excellently! And hopefully it’ll live up to Splintered?!?

STARS ABOVE: I mean, this is a given. It’s a collection of short stories about The Lunar Chronicles and — LOOK!! — cover reveal! So pretty!

STEALING SNOW: So the blurb said “reminiscent of Wicked and Maleficent” AND I STOPPED LISTENING AND JUST WANT IT.

NORA & KETTLE: Another Peter Pan retelling! I told you I have a Peter Pan obsession!! I WARNED YOU. Plus the pitch is “What if Peter Pan was a homeless kid just trying to survive, and Wendy flew away for a really good reason?” Ohhhh, let me cackle with pleasure at this marvellousness.

A STUDY IN CHARLOTTE: A Sherlock retelling…with a female Sherlock! WOOT. I’m lucky enough to have an eARC for this too! SQUEE.

UNHOOKED: Peter Pan is only my favourite thing ever…so of course I need more retellings!

THE FORBIDDEN WISH: I utterly adore Persian folklore and I really want this Aladdin retelling. I want everything. I am a bookworm of huge wants.

THE RAVEN KING (The Raven Cycle #4): I will absolutely scream if anyone dies okay?! My current prediction is that one of the boys (Ronan???) will sacrifice themselves for Gansey and I will not be okay ever again. EEEEVERRRR.

MEMENTO MORI: Amy Zhang is like, um 17-years-old or something and disgustingly talented, and I definitely need this book of hers because the blurb promises a protagonist embarking on a bucket list called “Places to Eat Before I Die”. HECK YEAH.

UNTITLED: Okay, I lied about “blurb reading”. There is no blurb for this one except “a trilogy about super heroes and super villains” and it’s by Marissa Meyer so yes I want it. Noooooow.

THE MUSE OF NIGHTMARES: Laini Taylor!! Is it acceptable to do a happy dance right now?! It’s about wars of gods and men…but I don’t even care. LAINI TAYLOR.

OF FIRE AND STARS: I’m so so soooo excited because it’s pitched as “Malinda Lo meets Game of Thrones”.

THE BASTARD TABLE: It’s about outcasts and saving princesses and going to war and I JUST WANT IT. Jon Snow wants to read it too.

(I am such a sucker for fantasy!! It is basically my favourite genre of EVER and I shall read all the fantasies or bust. Probably both, to be honest.)

THE CROWN’S GAME: This is a Russian based fantasy!! RUSSIAN!! Do you know how much I’ve screamed for fantasies like this?? THE WORLD HAS HEARD ME.

IVORY AND BONE: It sounds kind of caveman-ish…which makes me think of the Croods. So I am in.

THIS SAVAGE SONG: Basically Victoria Schwab and monsters — what more could I want?!?!

(Okay but shhhh this is an ACCIDENT I SWEAR. But goodreads insists on showing me 2017 books, so what am I supposed to do?! Ignore it? NO. I MUST SUFFER. So you should suffer with me.)

NUTCRACKED: I’ve been asking where the Nutcracker retellings are! HERE THEY ARE.

HEARTLESS: And a Little Mermaid retelling! But from the VILLAIN’S POV. SO EXCUSE ME WHILE I GET MONSTROUSLY EXCITED.

UNTITLED: Wherein Veronica Roth writes like Star Wars apparently. But, to be honest, she could write about chicken soup and I’d still want to read it.

BY YOUR SIDE: A boy and girl get locked in a library! MY DREAMS COME TRUE.

LONG MAY SHE REIGN: Do you know how DESPERATELY I want this book?!?! The pitch is “in which a 17-year-old shy, socially awkward girl scientist is 23rd in line for the throne, but suddenly becomes queen when the entire court is assassinated by poison during a state dinner.” EXCUSE ME BUT WANT.

I AM CURRENTLY OUT OF MY VULCAN MIND WITH WANT FOR THESE DELICIOUS SOUNDING BOOKS. IF YOU NEED ME, I’LL BE STALKING GOODREADS … PROBABLY HOWLING.

are any of these on your list!?!?? are any new to you? can you recommend me an awesome 2016 debuts that I need?!

Oh my goodness I want these allllll too. I really like the Savage song cover and the Romeo and uliet with Necromancers sounds EXCELLENT, and Long may she reign will be awesome and I need the raven king and the rose and the dagger and pretty much all of these books. Thanks for nothing, Cait *TBR pile explodes*

YES YES YES TO ALL OF THESE! Some of these are on my watchlist (and wishlist) already but adding the rest because they sound amazing! I have a lot of contemporaries on my list, so all these fantasy releases are much appreciated! All the covers are so beautiful too *_* Including that newly revealed Stars Above cover! But I am not ready for TLC to be over forever!!

hehe, you can always count on me to zone into the fantasies and skip all the contemporaries. xD I’ve been enjoying going through everyone else’s lists to get more contemporary on my wishlists!! 😀 ISN’T THE STARS ABOVE COVER JUST GORGEOUS!?!? :’)

SO MANY BEAUTIFUL NEW BOOKS COMING OUT NEXT YEAR! My TBR list has grown exponentially today. I can’t help it I want them ALL.

Most of my most anticipated reads next year are sequels of all the series I’m reading, but after hearing about all the new books that await me I don’t think I’m going to be able to stick to just reading/buying those haha

Oh, I am curious about Weight of Zero. One of my ALL TIME favorite stories is adult story featuring bipolar character so I am super surious to see how such topic fares in YA genre.
And I had no idea that Laini Taylor is publishing new book! I am definitely adding The Muse of Nightmares to my TBR, thanks for finding and sharing about it 🙂
Also IVORY AND BONE. It sounds so good. I have been salivating over the blurb for some time LOL

I adored All the Bright Places this year which had an undiagnosed bipolar character so YEAH I WOULD LIKE TO READ MORE. *nods vigorously* I really like learning while I read. Which is just completely nerdy, bUT IT’S GREAT. ANd zomg, it’s so exciting about Laini Taylor right?!?!?! SO EXCITING.

Yes yes yes! I can’t wait to read Lady Midnight and Half Lost! So many good books will be coming out next year and it’s so exciting! I’d love to read Stars Above, I just can’t get enough of Marissa Meyer’s books 🙂

And so many series are finishing!! *wails* Like the Half Bad series and The Raven Cycle, and the Last Lunar Chronicles books and gahhhhh I’M GONNA BE SAD. I hope some of these new series are epic enough to replace the old. :’)

I am SO EXCITED for The Crown’s Game. RUSSIAN ENCHANTERS AND A DUEL. Well, I’m going to read that as soon as I can… I’d never heard of the Bastard Table before but I’m adding that to my to-read list as fast as my internet connection will let me! IT SOUNDS EPIC! Jon Snow would definitely add this to his library-at-the-wall.

I would never be ready for The Raven King, I swear. I’m excited for it and dreading the conclusion at the same time. I didn’t know Laini Taylor will be releasing a book! EEEPP need to start saving money as early as today for all these beauties. YA fantasy is looking really good next year, I’m so happy about it. And I can’t believe a 2017 list is also up and about XD Thank you for this post, it’s very informative and flail-worthy!

BTW, if you love Harry Potter and you are interested in writing a collaborative story set in Hogwarts, please check out this link for details and how to join. Thank you!

SaAAAAAAME. I’m terrified it’s going to be heart breaking. *buries self in denial of its conclusion* But, omg, yes! Affording all these books will be the trick. XD I clearly need to be paid to read — THAT WOULD SOLVE ALL MY PrOBLEMS. (Omg and this is just a fraction of the 2017 books I have added. *dies a little because must wait so long*)
I actually haven’t finished reading the Harry Potter books. SORRY. XD >_<

This is such an exciting list! *flails arms rapidly around* It took me so long to choose only ten debut novels from next year – there are sososo many ones coming that sound awesome! – so reading this blog was like drowning in things to look forward to. Damn you for making me add so many things to my TBR, it’s long enough as it is!

Oh you organized these so nicely!!! Loving your picks for retelling next year. I am so late to that game but I am loving retellings lately. Also glad to see another Peer Pan one on the way! 2017??? I can’t yet!! AH! Great picks 🙂

AS IF THIS DAY WASN’T HARD ENOUGH ON MY TBR CAIT, YOU HAD TO GO MAKE A LIST THE SIZE OF THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA! I literally just added like 80% of this list to my TBR and the other 20% I already had HAHA!

All the retellings sound fantastic! I’m totally excited for new Peter Pan and Aladdin retellings!
I had not even considered the possibility of one of the Raven Boys dying until you put that thought in my head IT CAN NOT HAPPEN! I WILL BE THE OPPOSITE OF OKAY IF IT HAPPENS! My excitement level for The Rose and The Dagger is endless, it’s going to be so good!!
When I saw that Marissa Meyers was writing a new trilogy about superheros my excitement went through the roof!!
And all 2017 books got added as well! Because you know, the pain of waiting one year for a book isn’t enough I like to torture myself and get excited about books not coming out for 2 years!

Such a great list! I adore some of the authors you’ve posted about and all the books look great! Next year has to HURRY because so many amazing books are coming out and I have such high hopes for all of them.

*new reader pops in*
I hadn’t heard of most of these . . . but now I have several new books on my TBR list. So, happiness. 😀
Also: everything by Marissa Meyer. YES. I want it now.
(BTW, your link for The Crown’s Game actually leads to The Star Touched Queen . . . just thought you might like to know.)

WOW! You really know a lot about books that are coming out in the future! I always have trouble keeping up and mostly find out about them like one week before their actual release hahaha
There are so many good books on your TTT list, I don’t even know what all I want to read. I think I am most interested in Heartless though. Everything Alice in Wonderland-related just has me intrigued.

Loving all the Star Trek gifs, lol! Anyway, wow, great list! I never know really what’s coming out so your list has definitely informed me muchly 🙂 The book with the Romeo & Juliet with necromancers element sounds definitely intriguing, and the book cover art for A Study in Charlotte is so pretty 😀 Happy reading!

MY TBR DOES NOT LIKE YOU RIGHT NOW, CAIT. Why must you torture me in this way? I can only read so many books in a year. (Also, there’s a ton of mythology involved here. I have my suspicions as to what the YA trend is going to be next year. We had our year of dystopian, our year of high fantasy . . . now this.)

Apart from these, I’m excited for Passenger by Alexandra Bracken. Also Rick Riordan’s new series (though I don’t really think an entire book narrated by Apollo can possibly be as good as PJO and HoO?) and the next Magnus Chase book.

PFFFT. I think you made a small typo, Ellie, and you meant to write “MY TBR LOVES YOU CAIT” < -- Much better *nods*
Ohh, I didn't notice the mythology craze! I'm hoping fantasy just continues to come back in full swing because I LURVE IT SO MUCH. Fairy Tale Retellings are still in high demand too. Good. Because I love them. XD

So flippin’ excited for Heartless, The Winner’s Kiss, and The Star-Touched Queen! You also made my 2016 TBR list SO MUCH BIGGER. But gah I’m so excited! SO EXCITED I TELL YOU for all the amazing-sounding books coming out next year. Sigh.

Some of these were already on my list, but I hadn’t seen the Peter Pan ones! *is a Peter Pan addict and freely admits it* Also, though I’m sure you’ve seen it, there’s a giveaway for The Forbidden Wish on GoodReads at the moment.

Thanks for the lists! My TBR pile hates you at the moment, but that’s okay because it hates ME on a regular basis. *nods*

*freely admits to Peter Pan addiction too* I will never get enough Peter Pan retellings. NEVEEEEER. And “Nora & Kettle” is like the cutest title EVER. I am so in love already. :’) I have entered that Forbidden Wish Giveaway!!…I think. omg, I can never remmember. XD I’ve never won a Goodreads giveaway though…gah. XD

Oh My God!! This post was so overwhelming (but in the best way possible)! Soooo many new releases coming out soon! I will never be able to read them all. I had no idea that Hodge was doing an R+J retelling! I need that now! I’m eager to hear your thoughts on A Study in Charlotte; that’s one I’m highly anticipating!
Thanks for stopping by the The Local Muse

Wow…there are a TON of books here. Just wow I don’t know where to start but that yes there are so many I already had on my list others I didn’t know existed (though I have barley processed 2016 yet let alone 2017 lol). Wow I have Stars Above on pre-order already and love the cover.

ALL THE BOOKS. Thank you, my TBR is going to grow and grow and GROW and I’m going to get stuck under a PILE OF BOOKS because of you. That’s kind of my dream though, so I’m not really that mad, haha :p
The Loose Ends List seems like such a great read, totally the kind of book I should like, and, lists, lists are great, you’re so right about this!! 😀 Memento Mori and By Your Side sound SO GOOD, too. Damn. I’m going to add all the books to my TBR. Thank you for that 😀

MARISSA MEYER. *snatches all the books* And you just HAD to go and remind me that Veronica Roth’s newest book comes out in 2017. Can we just agree to skip 2016 and just get to the good stuff?

Let’s see, most of the titles you listed were unfamiliar to me, but they all look super interesting and now I want them all. Also, I want A Drop of Night by Stefan Bachmann which is coming out in February, I think? And I think it’s set in France or something, so I’m super excited about that.

Side note: You are my now my favorite person and if you keep calling me Jim I just might not try to steal the iron throne from you.

I KNOOOOO RIGHT!??! I mean I want a lot of these 2016 books, but omg. 2017. Please come to me, darling 2017 with all your gorgeous books. *pets computer screen* FANTASY THO. Like 99% of this list is fantasy and I have zero regrets. XD

Also btw, I’m mILDLY IN AWE OF YOUR 444,444 WORDS OMG. YOU ARE AMAZING. And also such an aesthetically pleasing number. WELL DONE.

I’ve already seen/added most of these, but I found a couple more retellings I would like to read and everybody always could use some more retellings!! 😃 Tbh though, I’m excited for more mystery-thrillers because those are my absolute faveeee.

I don’t even want to look at people’s TTT posts today. My TBR already stresses me out. But I did see that you have A Study in Charlotte on your list, which I read last month thanks to a giveaway. It was disappointing, I’m sorry to report. I do seem to be somewhat of a black sheep, but then, WHAT’S NEW?

Zomg, that is NOT good news. *dies a little* But then I tend to have mega-high expectations for retellings so…we’ll see. XD (And I can’t help but scour everyone’s TTT posts. But seriously. Next year = me broke.)

Okay, so I now have a lot more books to add to my never ending to be read pile. After Winter, I will read anything Marissa Meyer writes and the fact that the epilogue in Stars Above is dubbed as the “wedding of the century” is making my shippers heart all warm and fuzzy. There seems to be a lot of re-tellings coming out in 2016 and even though I’m not the biggest Peter Pan fan *hides* I am excited for Nora & Kettle. With regards to the fantasy list I think it’s safe to say we are being spoiled with all these wonderful books haha.

THE RAVEN KING, LADY MIDNIGHT, AND THIS SAVAGE SONG–I NEED THEM RIGHT THIS INSTANT. Okay, okay…I’m cool. I just REALLY want those books… All may also be on my list today, too…. (because I also happen to enjoy cheating, it turns out). And Star Trek references for the win! Although, admittedly, I AM more of a Star Wars fan…

Well, gee, THANKS Cait, as if I didn’t have enough already on my TBR! And I thought I’d already scoured the Goodreads list for all the add-able books (add-able? Whatever, it’s a word now). I’m doing some velociraptor screeches right now because I need literally all of these books.

Oh my goodness, Cait!! I’ve never even heard of most of these, but you have me so intrigued over them all now. *wants the shiny new covers* I will have to add some of these on Goodreads, methinks. Thanks for bringing these to my attention (so I can sit here and die with all of you waiting)! 😉

OH MY GIDDY AUNT. (wait, wait…i have to say this first; i am saving this link so i can read ALL OF THESE BOOKS) (JUST BECAUSE YOU RECOMMENDED THEM)
okay, now OH MY GIDDY AUNT so what i really need to say is that I HAVE A BOOK RECOMMENDATION FOR YOU!!!!!! (this is so weird. you are the book emperor and here i am saying that you need to read something. ) BUT ANYWAY. its on my list of favorites…
The Reckoners Trilogy by Brandon Sanderson – its basically superheros that are bad, so normal people have to fight against them. but it really is one of my faves and OH look at that the last one comes out in 2016. why the torture. so i understand the agony of WAITING. (why. just why.)
but anyway, i thought i would just say this. and yes, i do actually intend to read every last book that you wrote about in this post. 😀

HAHA, OMG. I’M GLAD YOU LIKE DTHE LIST, SAMI. XD I don’t know if they’re good or not though! They’re just ones I’m anticipating (read: screechingly anticipating)
And pfft, I LOVE RECCOMMENDATIONS TOO. I appreciate this so much! 😀 I’ve actually got Steelheart on my wishlist. So I shall be attending to that SUPER (har har har get it?!?) SOON.

Oh man. You’re killin’ me! I just added EVEN MORE books to my never ending TBR! I’m at almost 400 books now… I regret nothing (well maybe the fact that I can’t pause the world so I can read a few hundred books and then continue with my life.) But really, I am now super excited for a bunch of books I had no idea existed. SO, thanks 🙂

Okay, that’s it, Cait. I read this and it made me go do a Top Ten Tuesday post FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER because it looked so gargantuanly fun and I couldn’t stop myself any longer. Also I added Rebel of the Sands to my list. ALSO TOTALLY YOUR FAULT. XD But this is an awesome post and I loved seeing your excited future releases! YAY!

Long May She Reign sounds like an awesome premise (and hilarious too, perhaps unintentionally?). Also, how fantastic is it that ‘epic fantasy’ seems to be coming back with a vengeance in 2016?! Oooh, and thanks for putting The Weight of Zero on my radar. I’m always on the lookout for YA books dealing with mental health issues, so that one has been added to my TBR 😀

YES TO ALL OF THESE CAIT. I’m especially with you on The Winner’s Kiss (because there needs to be some Kestrel & Arin action, especially after that horrible cliffhanger, amirite? 😉 ) and both of Marissa Meyer’s books. Also The Quiet Ones because OMG that synopsis sounds amazing. Thanks for sharing and, as always, great choices! ♥ Definitely going to add all the rest of these to my TBR!

You lists just killed me! WAY TOO MANY BOOKS THAT I NEED NOW!!! The Winner’s Kiss, Rebe of the Sands, Stars Above, Heartless, Sword and Verse, The Crown’s Game, and so many more! And thank you for making my 2017 list even bigger.

CAAAAAAIIIIT. Why must you do this to us? I must say, I skipped the 2017 section entirely because, REALLY CAIT? That’s so mean. It’s hard enough waiting for next year. 😛 A lot of these were already on my TBR, but but but…..of course I added more. TWO AMY ZHANG’S NEXT YEAR? YES, PLEASE! Also, HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS?! AND MARISSA MEYER. SUPERHEROES. SUPER VILLAINS. I am drowning in the awesome. The Bastard Table and Rebel of the Sands. UNNNNNGGGGHH. AND TWO PETER PAN RETELLINGS? YES. YES. YES. I already had Unhooked, but of course Nora & Kettle is now on my TBR too. AND AN ALADDIN RETELLING. I AM DYING. I actually haven’t seen many Disney movies, but I absolutely LOVED Aladdin growing up.

I should not have read this post… My TBR list just grew and I’ve been trying to make it smaller – dammit Cait, you always do this to me!! Aaaah so many amazing books coming in 2016 (and 2017 apparently). I can’t wait! I need them now!

Awesome list! I have already preordered Heartless! Marissa Meyer is a freaking genius and I have a feeling that everything she does will be magic. Every single book of The Lunar Chronicles was even better than the last, so I have high hopes. I am also super excited for Amy Zhang’s new book. I love her!

These all sound good (and I haven’t heard of most of them). 2017 is so far in the further! How do you plan for the reading of such books. And marissa meyer and Veronica roth and OMG why have I not read half of the series. AAAA (so many books. So little time)

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE
I added so many things to wish list now… there are so many good picks oh my god, 2016 is the year I go broke. Especially excited for the Little Mermaid retelling and Romeo + Juliet + Necromancers. You have flawless taste, lady.

Oh man, oh man…. my wallet has a great deal of future grievances against your blog. But I need all of these in my life like yesterday. My Anticipated Books of 2016 list on Goodreads just doubled in size. =D

OMG I ADDED SO MANY BOOKS. This was disastrous for my TBR. In a good way. So thanks for that ^.^ But let’s get real here. ALICE IN WONDERLAND IS MY LIFE. I totally want to read all the retellings. It’s my favorite series, and I’m collecting various editions of it. I have 12 so far, no joke. Unfortunately I think I’ve only read one retelling, and that was the Looking-Glass Wars series, which was pretty good. I need to stop denying myself and get to reading more. Because I’m pretty sure that if I ever do write a book someday (which you have inspired me to do), it will be a dark sort of AiW retelling. IT WILL HAPPEN.

hOLY GUACAMOLE THIS LIST IS HUGE! Study in Charlotte is definitely my cup of tea, also Marissa Meyer looks like she’s going to be buseeeeeyy! AND AT FIRST I THOUGHT THAT “BY YOUR SIDE” WAS WRITTEN BY KANYE WEST! IMAGINE THAT! A YOUNG ADULT NOVEL WRITTEN BY THE RAPPER HIMSELF- GOOD OL’ KANYE! I kind of want to read that book now… just for the fun of it. Kaney’s book.
And when you called us the collective “Jim” I honestly thought of Jim Halpert from the Office. If you don’t know who he is YOU MUST WATCH THAT SHOW NOW AND FALL IN LOVE WITH THAT GANGLY DORK!

You’ve collected some amazing reads here! Ohmygosh. I’m excited about several of these and found some I wasn’t familiar with. I’m definitely curious about ‘Stealing Snow’ and will have to look into some of these other ones too. Thanks so much for visiting Dreaming Under the Same Moon. 🙂

I blame goodreads for showing me books set to release in 2017 and so forth. They know how to make my heart ache for the future.
Also, I am excited/nervous for those sequels! They will for sure give me all the feels.
*crosses fingers for Blue and her Raven boys*

I blame goodreads for, like, EVERYTHING, tbh. It’s the only way to survive. *nods* GOODREADS IS OUT TO MAKE OUR LIVES BOOKISHLY WONDERFUL YET MISERABLE.
*kidnaps Blue and her Raven boys and tries to keep them safe*

Yes to all the Marissa Meyer books! Stars Above should be good. Plus, it has the most gorgeous cover! I think I like it second only to Cress.
Also, yessss to all the Star Trek gifs (and the pic of Dan Howell. :P)

First, NORA & KETTLE. I am so glad that this made your list, because the author is a fabulous human being, and her first series was SO good. Also, all of these are on my TBR. Like, ALL of them. Even the 2017 ones. Because I have problems. So many people are going around like “Oh no, my TBR is growing” and I am over here like “My TBR was already obscene”.

I need ALL the sequels. And ALL the fantasies. And the 2017s. And the coverless. Basically, our TBRs look like twins separated at birth. As they should.

I haven’t read anything else by the Nora & Kettle author SO NOW I SHALL GO DIG UP HER FIRST BOOKS BECAUSE OMG NORA & KETTLE SOUNDS SO FREAKISHLY GOOD.
My TBR is so large there is just…there is no hope. I’ve resigned myself to it.

Okay so I am TOTALLY bookmarking this page and promptly adding all these books to my TBR because this list is utterly SPECTACULAR. (Except the Marissa Meyer ones are already on my TBR, obvs. And Raven King and A Study in Charlotte, also obvs.)
Bright Smoke, Cold Fire sounds epic. And DANG those 2017 releases! Nutcracked! By Your Side! Long May She Reign! I WANTS THEM ALL!

*bows majestically* Why thank you. It’s hard to tell I’m a bit of a fantasy nut, isn’t it? 😛 The 2017 ones are the ones I’m dyyyying for most of all. OF COURSE. Life is unfair. Let me squeeze in the time machine with you, yes?

AGGGHH CAIT YOURE KILLIN’ ME HERE. All of these upcoming releases sound fabulous! I am feeling very guilty that I have never read anything written by Victoria Schwab and Maggie Stievater… *deflates with sadness and guilt* BUT I VOW TO CHANGE THAT. Soon…. Maybe…

Nutcracker retellings are finally happening!? This is so exciting! *adds to long list of books to read* Also, with each new Lunar chronicles book that comes out, I feel a stronger urge to read them….I think this is the point where I’ll be caving XD That cover is too pretty and the concept is pretty darn cool ^ ^

I didn’t get the Star Trek reference, but that may be because I haven’t watched that series yet. I only watched star trek voyager so far and am currently watching deep space 9.

Oh the Loose Ends List sounds like a fun one, I love lists, so the list part totally got my attention, adding it to my to-read list! I don’t read a lot of fairytale retellings, but that little mermaid retelling does sound interesting. There aren’t that many The Little Mermaid retellings and that always was one of my favourite fairytales. Waiting for books to be released can be difficult and a time machine definitely would be nice, although it’s also kinda nice to have something to look forward to. Great list!

A lot of these are already on my list *cough* so many debuts *cough*
I’m super super super excited for Lady Midnight (I’ve been preparing for the moment when it’s released my entire life…. except not really…. except kind of.)
I’d never heard of Long May she Reign but now I need it because assassinations and a socially awkward girl, who will probably definitely be relatable, sounds amazing.
I’m really excited for A Study in Charlotte so I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it 🙂
The wait to 2017 will be long and painful… and I can’t xD
Great list!

I’m so so excited for Lady Midnight too!! I LOVE THE SHADOWHUNTER WORLD SO FREAKISHLY MUUUUCH. Although it’s going to be weird reading a series as it comes out instead of having the entire lot there to binge as a I please. o.O

SO MANY BOOKS!!! LOL my TBR list is never going to end! I’m excited for so many of those books, but I’m probably the most excited for A Study in Charlotte. And now I’m excited for those 2017 books too! BUT 2017 IS SO FAR AWAY!

Cait, what have you DONE?! WHY HAVE YOU TOLD ME SO EARLY?! Oh my god. I’m not sure I can wait! 🙁

You do realise you have listed nine retellings coming out next year in your list, right? Which means, if you were to read them, you could take part in my Retellings Reading Challenge 😛 I’m just kidding, there’s no pressure to. But a lot of them sound so good! I might have to look for them next year! Thank youuuu!

YES YES YES to Heartless and Nora and Kettle. Looks like it’s going to be a good year for retellings!
(Also, how are you so organised and already compiling lists of 2016 books to read? I barely know what I want to read this week, let alone next year!)
Beth x

OH MY GOSH, CAIT. This is the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to me, ever. For some reason I’ve been having the hardest time finding all the amazing sounding books coming out next year and this post is so perfect! I’m adding each and every one of these to my “GET THESE IMMEDIATELY AND AT ALL COSTS” list.

2016 IS NOT GOING TO BE GOOD FOR MY MONEY. SERIOUSLY SOMEONE DONATE ME SOME READING IS GOOD FOR YOU SO IT’S FOR A GOOD CAUSE. It’s not funny how many amazing books are coming out (and why are some of these coming out in 2017?! I DO NOT HAVE THE PATIENCE TO WAIT THAT LONG) HOW ARE WE GOING TO SURVIVE THE WAIT. HOW IS MY WALLET GOING TO SURVIVE THIS

Some of these books are already in my 2016 TBR, like the Rose and the Dagger. Seriously that ending KILLED ME! I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT LIKE RIGHT NOW!!! But Oh Cait why do you do this to me? My TBR pile is soo high up and I still keep buying books and now I discover some new amazing books slated for next and now I can’t handle it. These look soo amazing and they sound so interesting that my booknerd self has just exploded with feels! Still I’m soo glad I found your blog. Now I can have more book recommendations and more books to add to my TBR pile. So thank you Cait! 🙂
